Samuel Alfred StreetRISING FAWN, Ga. – Justin Corey Alfrey left home around 9 p.m. on Dec. 15. He told his fiance he needed to drop his friend off somewhere.
“He hugged me, kissed me, told me he loved me and said he would be back home soon,” Autumn Cook told the Times Free Press. “But he never came back.”
According to the Dade County Sheriff’s Office, someone called 911 at 12:15 a.m. The department has not said what the caller reported, but deputies responded to the parking lot of an old trucking business off U.S. Highway 11. They found Alfrey in his car, shot to death.
Cook isn’t sure why Alfrey, 32, of Valley Head, Alabama, would have been there. She said she heard the shooting was the result of a mistaken identity. But she has not heard many specific details from investigators, even after they arrested the alleged killer on Friday.
The sheriff’s office charged Samuel Alfred Street, 70, with murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm. He remains at the DeKalb County, Alabama, jail, awaiting extradition to Dade County.
